Robindell Private School

I love this place. Great service. I recommend parents who have odd schedule like mine, come here for great care.

We have 3 children…2,4, and 6… We have been taking our children to Robindell for about a month now and I am pleased with how my children have transitioned. They come home happy everyday and the teachers really seem to care and get to know them. When I walk my children through the campus to drop them off, the teachers address them by name, which amazes me, being that they’ve only been there a short time and the school has such a large enrollment. I like that I can pick them up at 7:30pm without a penalty charge. I get off of work at 7:00pm…pretty amazing. They also feed them well. I used to have to make them another dinner when I brought them home from the previous daycare, but their bellies are always full, which takes a load off my back. We pay out of pocket and the price is quite reasonable. My constructive criticism would be to put some Windows in the portable classrooms, but that honestly is the only thing I would say at this point. Oh! And it would be nice to meet the director… he seems pretty cool how he responds to some of these reviews… had me laughing my butt off.

This is the worst school to send your child to! Everyday my child comes home and tells me that another student has been hitting on her. The teachers and staff never send home any incident reports. They are not concerned about children’s safety at all. Chuck wall the so called director could care less. He is very direspectful and unprofessional. Half the teachers are not even certified. Please do not send your child here.

My son and stepkids have been going to Robindell and loving it for several years (from their ages 3 to 12). My neighbors across the street also take their infant to Robindell and are happy with it. My friend also takes her preschooler there and likes it. Every single person at Robindell has been totally professional, focused on the well-​being of the children, treating each other kindly, and letting the kids be kids. I have found the management to be extremely responsive to any concerns or questions. The food is cooked on site and the kids love it. This is not a place where they will be teaching your 3-​year-​old to speak French; however, this is a place where the children are safe, cared for with loving kindness, and enjoying being children. The price is great and they are available for whatever schedule you need. In addition to the regular schedule, there have been times I needed extra daycare due to having to work late, a client dinner, weekend or night-​time event and family was not able to help me. It is a true blessing to know that if I cannot be with him at least my child is comfortable with people who really care about him and having fun.

We came for a drop-​in for the second time, having only been there once. The place is a little run down, but the kids don’t seem to mind for a few hours. They told us we owed them $ 193, an obvious error. They were not able to say why we owed that amount, and they had not called or mailed anything. They would not let the kids stay unless we paid the $ 193 (we didn’t) and said we should call Monday to work it out. I think we’ll just find somewhere else to go.

While searching for daycares for my son, I came across Robindell and noticed they were within reasonable price range for me and happened to work with my work schedule. I called and asked if I could schedule a tour, which surprisingly they said to come anytime. A couple days later I dropped by for a tour and couldnt find which building to turn into as there are two. The woman on the phone acted as if I was an idiot and rudely told me that there are two buildings, one OBVIOUSLY for the older children which was closed. Okay. not to mention how uncomfortable I am getting lost in this highly suspicious neighborhood. That should have been my first sign to turn around. As I walked in I asked for a tour which seemed to surprise them. I was then told to sit in the waiting area for someone. As I was sitting there I noticed there were a bunch of screens showing very clear security cameras on each room, which is good for them I’ll give that. I waited about 30 minutes listening to the woman at the desk calling at least three kid’s parents leaving messages that their children have been throwing up and they had called multiple times to get someone to pick them up, which she then turned to me and said they are all just ignoring because they want to stay at work. wow. When I was finally given a «tour», I was taken down a hall into one room, the «baby room» there was a teacher in there. The lady said, «This is Danielle, she’s thinking about putting her 11 month old in here.», to which the teacher said «oh.» and carried on. Rude? So that was it. a ONE room tour. I was then led to a table with registration packets and a lunch menu. I looked at the menu and it is nothing my son would eat/​looks like cheap frozen food they would serve over and over. I asked if I could pack food for him to which she answered why would you? I went home and did a quick review search on this place and yikes. All I’m saying is maybe they need to work on how they treat people if they expect any (decent) business.

Let me give a detailed description as to why I say to NOT bring your child here unless it is NECESSARY. Not only did my car get broken into in broad day light informer of their open window office, they told me there was pretty much nothing they could do. They had the incident on tape but they don’t have face or license plate recognition. Geeez! At a daycare! Also my sister was able to walk right in and get my son and walk right out without anyone saying anything to her. She wasn’t even on my pick up list! Anyone could come and take a child. My child hasn’t been there since. (I was able to get pass my car being broken into, but children’s safety I take seriously!)

I was nervous because the other two reviews on Unilocal were not that great, but I guess you have to try some things for yourselves. I liked that when I called about taking a tour they told me I didn’t have to make an appointment that I could come by anytime I liked, that tells me that I should be able to get a real look at exactly what’s going on. I took my two boys on a drop in to see how it went before enrolling and they had a ball. They loved the playground areas and my 4 year old told me all about what he did that day and what they were learning. I was very impressed and he seemed to enjoy it. My infant was very content when I picked him up as well, although you never really know because he can’t talk, he was clean and seemed well taken care of. They gave me a report of every he was changed and the times he was fed and what he was fed. I was very happy with how well they did and so I chose to enroll them. The kids love going, no crying when I drop them off and the teachers are fantastic. Needless to say I feel this was a great decision for me and my family.

My son attended the drop in day care at robindell and liked it at first because they took field trips. But then he started to throw tantrums after about a week because of the teachers. He says that they yell at the kids all day long for no reason, never towards him but to everyone else. I explained that it was probably the outfit of location, open and wide, but he refused to keep going.

I took my child here for too long… the people are nice enough, but they are definitely not clean enough. My child was in the small infant room. The teachers did not clean the changing table after they changed a baby on it, wash their hands, or use gloves! I witnessed this several times. This is very important when dealing with babies! Plus, they let them all roll around on this carpet and use the same swings and chairs, that I’m sure they rarely cleaned.
Several times, the teachers put my child’s things in another parent’s bag, and I would find other children’s things in my bag when we’d get home. They do not have much of any security system during the day. People just come and go as they please, they just expect you to sign your child in and out of a book. I think that by the time they put your times in their computer, someone could have taken your child and have been long gone by then.
Furthermore, my child was constantly sick when I was bringing him to Robindell. Either he had a cold or a stomach virus. Then, he’d make me or my husband sick. After two months of this craziness, I pulled him out of there and put him into a home daycare. He has not been sick at all since then, and we have all been much happier.
